Push yourself!

Keep on going to these social situations, even if you are shaking – even quaking – inside. Go, even if you must bring a prop – an old buddy you can trust, a rehearsed shtick or a memorized list of things you can talk or ask about. Drag yourself kicking and screaming, into these situations. And the good news: If you can make yourself show up, then you're not officially phobic. You're just nervous.
